NOTHING IS STRONGER THAN A COMMUNITY INVESTING IN ITSELF
What we do
We train the next generation of investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators.
Our work directs how capital is formed and distributed to expand opportunities for Black and historically excluded communities. We actively reimagine the innovation economy by developing the next generation of venture capital leaders in communities where entrepreneurs face barriers to accessing capital.
Our vision is to build a global innovation economy where Black and historically excluded innovators can boldly create, fail, invest, and thrive.
Nothing matters more than our people.
Culture is Currency.
Our origins are rooted in the legacy of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), which forged opportunities for Black Americans in a time when our country would not. We are anchored in this intention, and similar to HBCUs, we purposefully extend our support to all overlooked communities, including but not limited to Indigenous, Latinx, LGBTQ+, and undocumented immigrants. We know that innovation lives within us–and has been untapped, underinvested, and ignored for far too long.
